+44 (0)1347 879046 Website

Application

  • Façade ventilation and screening where airflow performance is a primary requirement
  • Plant enclosures and rooftop plant areas requiring higher free area for air intake and discharge
  • Air intake and discharge openings within building façades
  • Commercial and industrial buildings requiring high airflow with reduced visual density
  • Service areas where ventilation performance is prioritised over visual screening
  • Applications where increased airflow is required compared to tighter pitch louvre systems

Description

Aquarius X-LINE 100 is an architectural aluminium louvre system designed for façade screening, ventilation and weather protection. The system provides higher free area and improved airflow performance, making it suitable for applications where ventilation is a primary requirement.

The 100mm blade pitch creates a more open louvre arrangement, reducing visual density while maximising airflow through the façade. This makes it well suited to plant ventilation and air intake or discharge applications.

Louvre blades are formed from extruded aluminium profiles and fixed to concealed vertical support mullions, creating a continuous and uniform façade appearance. Proprietary blade geometries are used to optimise airflow and weather performance while maintaining consistent visual alignment.

The system is available as a single bank arrangement as standard, with an optional double bank configuration incorporating a chevron blade profile to provide enhanced rain defence where increased weather performance is required.

Performance characteristics, including airflow and rain defence, have been independently tested by BSRIA, with data available to support specification.

A full range of accessories is available, including bird guards, insect mesh, security mesh, security bars, intumescent dampers and blanking panels, allowing the system to be tailored to project-specific requirements.

All Aquarius™ louvre systems are available with a range of standard and bespoke perimeter framework options, ensuring full integration with the building envelope and a complete weathered interface.

Systems can be supplied as factory-assembled modules or in kit form for in-situ assembly, providing flexibility to suit site constraints and installation preferences.
